RESET MATERIALS towards sustainable architecture

Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center
Refshalevej 173A
1432 København K

The exhibition shows the results of research by ten interdisciplinary teams of architects, artists and manufacturers who have looked at innovative materials for building - like mycelium - or looked at how we can use existing materials in new ways or, even, at ways to use materials, like hemp or straw, that were used widely - at least in vernacular and agricultural buildings, - until a century or so ago.

With pressure to reduce the impact on the environment of all building work, we have to consider if we can use ancient construction techniques so, for instance, use earth and mud, dried in the sun, to build up walls as an alternative to energy-intensive construction materials like fired bricks or concrete.

Sikke et spild / What a waste

DANSK ARKITEKTUR CENTER /

"Annually, over 1.1 million tons of waste are generated from industrial and manufacturing companies in Denmark. The portion of the waste consisting of uniform and reliable materials is referred to as New Waste"

Much ends up in landfill but UPCYCL is a community where industrial companies with waste can be matched with companies that can use these materials.

S.E. - Snedkernes Efterårsudstilling / Cabinetmakers' Autumn Exhibition 2019

L1088248.JPG

Danish Architecture Centre, Bryghuspladsen 10, Copenhagen

Thirty-five works by cabinetmakers', many working in collaboration with designers and architects working with a theme this year that focuses on climate change and sustainability. There are experiments with new materials, designs that reassess how established materials are used and could be re-used and there are designs that focus on reworking ideas to make them relevant to the way we have to live now and how we may live in the near future. This is about makers understanding their chosen material to explore limits but also to produce beautiful and simple furniture of the very highest quality. After all, the easiest form of sustainability is to buy something we need but that we don't want to throw away.
